Fish scale patterns

Can anyone tell me if Xara has fish scale patterns for download. Thanks.

There's one I designed years ago as part of a package of background fills. It's in the Content Catalog

Hello,
That looks great.
Where are they located?
Any link to it, please.

@Naheed, to open the content gallery click “Insert" > "From content catalogue" (Shift+Alt+I). You'll need to have an active update service to access the catalogue.

@Manny, l’m always interested in anything fish related! Up to now I’ve been drawing individual fish scales which is a bit laborious but gives you better control as you curve round the fishes body. Finding out how experienced piscine artists go about things is on my long list of quests.

Here's an example of something fishy on my 'drawing board' at the moment. I've drawn a scale then repeated it. I've also made a repeating tile as used in the second image below.

@GP I’ve wondered in the past who designed Xara content - now I know! Those two colour background fills are one of the very few things I regularly use. Thanks! :-)

Jon - That I think is the only thing I did design for Xara that is in the app. And very handsome fish scales.

I've used a Scatter brush with a crude scale but the effect is notable:

Some simply lines curved.

Thanks for your reply. Ok, so an active updated service to access the catalog.
I will try it too.
